Chyan Farm

Positiv Spacious, quiet and simple. Clean
Solar shower was warm to hot depending upon the time of day I used it and the weather of course.
Compost loos ok
Spring water for drinking was a bonus.
Good idea having quiet time between 9.30pm and 7.30am

Negativ Pity the hot tub wasn't available while we were there

Positiv Lovely views, peaceful, eco friendly ethos, inexpensive, plenty of space as only one other camper

Negativ Little water (or pressure) and barely warm solar shower, even though I was one of only 2 campers, so not sure how it would cope with more.
I’ve used plenty of composting toilets before, but they’re usually boxed in at the bottom of the drop, however, these 2 had only chicken wire at the back and the wind whistled up through, blowing the sawdust back up over me, and the solar lights barely worked for a minute or so and then gave up.
No recycling bins, or bins of any description, just a sign telling campers to take all their litter home (there was a compost site next to the toilets for “raw food” only and cooled ashes
Only cold water for washing up, not good for removing grease
The cut grass and mud from the many molehills got everywhere

Positiv It was good and quiet there until I hurt myself and had too leave quickly and left some things there

Positiv EVERYTHING! The stream, orchard, community, mud kitchen, natural swimming pool, how safe it is for children, the peace and tranquility, the sunrise on top of the hill, Swamp Circus, location - it is a dream camp spot.

Positiv It's an eco campsite, what's not to like?
My friend particularly appreciated being able to take a much-needed solar heated bath (see disliked).
The camping field was quiet and peaceful with a lovely view across the valley and site rules are in place to protect the local environment, which is nice.
The owner came by doing the rounds with her child on the morning of our departure and was friendly (we stayed two nights and this was my second visit after four years).

Negativ They're composting toilets with all that is to be expected from them, but they could benefit from a bit of a makeover, maybe a lick of eco-friendly paint inside to lighten up the interior (they're dark wood and mostly under trees, so the lighting inside is a little lost). The gents toilet in the bottom field where my lady friend ended up on arrival, being in a bit of a hurry, was dirty with urine on the seat, not noticed until too late. The grass there was long and rain-soaked and our feet and trousers were saturated by the time we got up to the camping field.

Positiv Lovely open space to camp. Very quiet in secluded spot

Negativ Many cars from another camping field parked near to our pitched tent whilst we were out for the day. We could have been forewarned by the owner that an event was happening on an other field on the site which had no parking.
